When you make something locally you create value.  Local factories energize the economy and invigorate the community by creating jobs, supporting families, and recycling dollars.  Unionwear’s sustainability is built on a foundation of enduring client relationships and workplace satisfaction.  We reward our garment workers with union wages and benefits so they have a stake in the long term success of our customers.  A living wage can buy the gifted hands of a veteran seamstress.  Low employee turnover means knowhow and resourcefulness on the shop floor.  High morale means high productivity, lowering costs and speeding up deliveries.  Company loyalty translates into pride in workmanship, which can mean pampering every order, every unit that sports our label.  Click here to learn more.
